I'm my happiest when I'm sitting at a sidewalk café on a nice spring day in NYC with a favorite glass of wine or a cup of tea and dessert chatting with a friend or the hubby. Admittedly, at any given time, I find my mind drifting (especially during menial tasks or uninteresting company) with blissful thoughts of... 'I wish I could be sitting at a quaint little sidewalk café right about now sipping on my wine...' Especially wine in a café in Paris with French music echoing in the background. I must say that is truly my happy place.

Obviously, most of us including myself probably can't just hop to a Paris café when our hearts desire, but it's an easy trend that can be created at home with a few necessary items. Think of using café chairs in an eat in kitchen or breakfast nook. Also, an outdoor patio offers the chance to create a quaint café setting.
